which wine critic Robert Parker rated 98 and 99+ points respectively,
calling the 2006 “utterly profound” and the 2007 “unquestionably one
of the great Chateauneufs of my lifetime.” Then move on to compare
the 2000 vs. 2001 Domaine de Pegau Reservee. Parker calls the former
“a tour de force...impeccably well-balanced,” and praises the latter as “a
spectacular smorgasbord of aromas...with a huge finish, and a monster
upside.” Finally, conclude your tasting by comparing a pair of 2007s from
famous Spanish wine producer Alvaro Palacios, who bio-dynamically
farms all of his vineyards. Parker says of the first, from the Las Lamas
vineyard, “satin-textured, multifaceted, and intense, it is full of finesse,
